[QUOTE="napeequa55, post: 550645, member: 42017"] So if I'm planning to purchase a 70-300mm lens, and I have the D5*00 series camera, I should buy the $500 AF-S lens. But if I purchase a D7*00 series camera with the AF motor built-in, I should buy the $175 AF lens. Can somebody confirm that the glass quality of the two lenses should be equal, the only factor making up the $325 price difference between the two lenses is whether or not they have the auto-focus built into them? To me, it would make more sense to buy the more expensive camera and cheaper lens, because I plan to buy several lenses and not needing to purchase the AF-S version would end up saving me hundreds on each lens. If, however the $500 lens is actually better quality glass too, then I'd probably go that route anyway, and in that case I might as well stick with the D5300. Thanks [/QUOTE]
